These are the pictures of the snow carvings of "Dwarves' castle" for the Shenyang International Snow Festival (taken on January 2, 2007), which will start on January 10, 2007. It takes some 80,000 cubic meters of snow to make these carvings, and the theme of the festival this year is "fairy tale". Besides the castle, the festival will reproduce many other legends and folk tales with snow. [photo: cnsphoto]
